This post has been written and re-written several times within the last week or so. I’ve had the most wonderful experience running this website, meeting new friends and conversing with fans over the last year or so. After careful consideration i have decided to stop posting on this blog. This is mainly due to commitments towards my own education, i feel i can not give this site the time and commitment i have given it in the past. Unfortunately i feel these standards can not be currently upheld.

I’d like to thank every single person who has ever taken the time to read any of these blog posts, left comments and personally e-mailed me over the last year. You are all truly and greatly appreciated by myself and Maria.

I’d also like to say the largest thank you to Maria. Not only has she become a friend but she gave this blog her time, talent and commitment.

The blog will still be open for anyone who wishes to view past posts however no new posts will be available on the site starting Monday the 7th March.

Thank you and all the best, thank you for making this blog such a wonderful experience.

Kristen was spotted at LAX airport on February 18th. The actress wore her signature relaxed and casual attire consisting of some fabulous vintage Jet by John Eshaya Rebel Skinny Jeans. She paired them with some fantastic Vans Wellesley Women’s Hiker Skate Shoes which you can purchase HERE from Vans official webpage for just $60.

Accessories included an Urban Outfitters Ecote Canvas Rucksack. Oliver Peoples vintage re-released O’Malley sunglasses completes the look. This frame is part of a re-release of vintage looks that were acquired by Oliver Peoples founder Larry Leight. With the re-release of this vintage O’Malley frame being from 1988. The Vintage Re-Release collection will be available at Oliver Peoples boutiques and select Saks Fifth Avenue stores.

Needless to say I loved this look although in some pictures there was a little too much photo-shopping, but I think everyone can agree on that! Now on to the look, sorry about the lateness of this but if you lose an internet connection at University here, you don't get it back for hours! Hopefully this makes up for it.

FACEBefore applying my foundation I exfoliated and moisturised using Nivea Soft moisturiser. Then using a MAC 190 foundation brush, I applied the foundation over the face, lips and brows. Only after I applied the rest of the makeup did I set the look with a brown blush for contouring purposes and a light powder.

EYESIf you need to apply a primer now to the eyelid. For this you can use the actual colour used on Kristen which was Iridescent Violet by Estee Lauder or you can use a dark, warm brown. Seeing as the colour is not available in the UK I used a brown. I applied it using a regular eyeshadow brush to the eyelid only and blended the shadow upwards only slightly. Then, line the lower lid with a lighter brown. Next to define your eyes even more, apply a black liner to the top lid and blend. Then, once you've done your brows apply a white or creamy white colour under the brow, and apply loads of mascara to the top lashes and not so much to the lower lid.

BROWSYou want to make your brows a very dark, chocolate brown colour. The perfect colour for this is the same shadow I've used for my eyes, "Unmentionables" by Too Faced. It is best to use an angled brush for this.

First of all I have to say something about Kristen's Vogue Cover. I cannot believe I missed it. Gorgeous cover shoot she looks absolutely gorgeous, and next weeks makeup tutorial is covered!

Back today's tutorial. I loved her outfit and her makeup. Her makeup was usually how Kristen wears her makeup but there was something different and stunning about it. Credits to the look go to Jilian Dempsey.

FACEAfter exfoliating and moisturising my skin I applied my foundation in a light sheer layer. Kristen's face, as usual, is flawless so keep it natural. Once you've finished your eyes and brows, apply a bronzing blush to the cheek bones and a nude pink blush to the apples of your cheeks and set with a powder.

EYESApply a primer if you wish now and apply "Lap Dance" or a medium brown or a warm brown colour to the entire lid right up to the brow bone. Apply this colour as a liner shadow on the lower lid. Next apply a pencil gel liner to the top lid from the outer corner to just over half way over your lid. Then blend. If you're using a gel liner this will be incredibly easy to do. Apply and blend until you get your desired colour although you want to keep it subtle especially if you're using a black liner like i did instead of a grey liner as Kristen has. Blend the liner into a subtle flick at the outer corner and into the inner corner.

Next using a fine liner brush, apply the pixi liner into a flick at the outer corner. I find it easier to find where the flick is meant to be by placing the end of a makeup brush at the tip of your nose and follow the handle to the corner of your eye and to the tip of your brow. Then, keeping this line in mind, apply the liner. i find it easy to apply the flick by starting on the outside and working my way towards the eye itself instead of drawing the flick out. Then using the pencil liner again, apply it softly to the waterline of the lower lid. Before applying mascara, apply a white or a soft, creamy white like "In The Buff" to just below the brow. Then fill in your brows if you need to and apply mascara.

BROWSFor my brows i've used the colour "Unmentionables" by Too Faced and used an angled brush to apply it. To add more texture to your brows add a layer of clear mascara over the top.

LIPSKeep it natural, air on the side of nude pink or clear colours. A clever tip to make your natural lip look fuller, apply a brightening liquid like Benefit's High Beam/Moon Beam to the cupids bow and the skin just below your bottom lip and blend.

I’m sure you’ve all seen and heard by now that Kristen indeed graces the cover of Vogue for its February issue. There’s been murmurs for a while so this spread is a fabulous way to kick off her fashion game in 2011.

All looks in this spread are from the Proenza Schouler Spring 2011 Collection. I adore all looks from this shot especially the green dress with sheer overlay in the last photo. Absolutely fabulous.
